AT THE HEART OF 'CURATED' IS A DEEP APPRECIATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTISTS AND ART COLLECTORs. PAVE CONTEMPORARY RECOGNISES BOTH THE ARTIST AND ART COLLECTOR AS VISIONARIES WHO BY CREATING AND PROJECTING ART ENRICH SOCIETIES AND CULTURES, CATALYSING CHANGE AND AWARENESS.

'Miniatures'  is a tryptich of colour-pencilled drawings that explore human beings’ quest to create environnements that reflect the different stages of their lives. In between delusions of grandeur and the local community exists a permeable space for constructing worlds in which feelings of belonging translate to the human scale.

The title of the triptych draws a parallel to Lucile Gauvain's  prior habit of realising these drawings in a much smaller format. As part of her work especially created for CURATED, the artist  was encouraged to tackle wider scales and so was able to, in the process, envision the impact of the exchange between an artist and a collector. Through this relationship and affiliation are born novel tangible realities, a silver-thread, loud enough to resonate amongst crowds.

"All through the touch of my hand. My body perhaps becoming the most significant tool in this process. Surfaces not quite right, imperfections showcased. These forms, in their purity, reference the struggle of the processes they were born from. A not so perfect form, formed perfectly. Allowing chance and indeterminacy to exist as a parameter for making. Whilst these objects allude to many things, they are at the same time non-representational. No one set answer, nor reading."

- Emily Stollery

 

Lise Stoufflet develops a work of painting and drawing, but, also explores the object as a possible overflow of the fictional images she builds. Her works are innocently disconcerting and beautifully surreal. The narrative is richly present in her paintings, the story is not always clear and, oftentimes, unsettling. Part of this tension arises from Stoufflet’s beautifully contained manipulation of colour, which marries a contrast of pastel, soft colours with rich, dark hues and creates atmospheres of mystery and intrigue.
